[quote=Anonymous]Have any tips on talking a kid down from the ledge appreciated. She’s punching hitting and scratching we don’t do exactly what she demands, or turn the TV off. i’m too tired to hear anything negative. It would be especially helpful to hear from parents that have sensitive children. She’s wicked smart and very emotional. We talked about calm down methods when she is more relaxed but it all goes out the window when she’s flared up. (Breathing, counting, calm down corner, rolling on floor, hugging tightly or holding her gently, giving space..) nothing is working.

There were several major flares today and I finally lost it and yelled back. She was rightly crushed. I’m so upset and feel terribly sad, like I’m failing her. Also worn the hell out from the high emotions. She’s a loving girl and I’m so afraid of messing her up by not being calm and steady. We’re lost and being cooped up is exacerbating this already existing problem.

I’m going to try to be outside more tomorrow to see if that helps. Really struggling. Thoughtful advice appreciated.

Thank you [/quote]
